Glazed Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Bars

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This is not tea party fare, but if you picnic or provide snacks for a youth group or school sports team, you might want to add this recipe to your files. These cookies are really easy to make and what they lack in refinement they make up for in taste. The recipe is so straight forward, that I have little to add to the instructions that appear below. I've found the flavor improves if the cookies are made the day before you plan to serve them. They also freeze well if long term storage is your goal. I do have one small caution to share with you. While freezing does not harm their flavor, it will cause the gorgeous glaze to lose its sheen and become cloudy. I hope those of you who have children will give these a try. You won't be disappointed. Here's the recipe.

Mary-These yummy peanut butter oatmeal bars are not only super delicious, tempting, and addictive, but also a "staple" that should be around my household for all the peanut butter chocolate lovers in my family.Thanks for sharing...yet, another super great recipe:DDD

This look really like a typical Kiwi snack. Yep, sport teams, lots of outdoors activities, growing kids coming home from school starving (because they don't have proper lunches at school here, just a sandwich on the run)... well, at least these kinds of bars are very present in my husband memory, he used to come home for school and go to the 'tins' (the tin boxes full of home baked slices). Now most mothers buy food already made, biscuits and cereal bars, but it is not the same.Me, being Italian I find these too sweet, my kids come home from school and I make them a fresh fruit smoothies or carrot juice, and if the have sport after... well, there is always a piece of cake, or focaccia, or another home baked treat... and for that extra energy there is always nutella :-)!!!

I got in trouble once, at a family picnic when I was younger, for eating the majority of peanut butter glazed bars that looked an awful lot like these :) Might not want to invite me anywhere these will be, I can't guarantee I'll share!!
